Shores of Gold

I know it will take for us to climb
the sand dunes which divide us here and now.
Forgiveness and redemption come in time
but yet I know we'll scale them somehow.
We once walked hand-in-hand on shores of gold
but life had other plans, a rising tide.
An angry squall fell angry, fast, and cold.
Suspicions took us on a seaful ride.
I know it will take time for us to rise
above these sand dunes made up of our fears.
I know that passed them all are clear, blue skies -
where tidal waves are merely joyful tears.
We'll walk on shores of gold when this is done -
where giant squalls no longer block the sun.
